We definitely get it. The trepidation. This is a pretty safe and fun space. Lots of great people here. Welcome!

Welcome to PD! How long have you been a lurker? It's great you signed on, looking forward to see you around the board Erm...a couple years of lurking  There was a lot of trepidation which is why it took so long. It was the same for me manicpixiememegirl  I found out about PD years ago, but had already seen way too much negativity and horror stories about devs to want to identify myself as one in any way. It took years of on-off lurking until I was finally ready to join - and it has been balm to the soul |

Welcome from Germany. I also thought in the very beginning of my discoveries that I was "the only weirdo" in regards to my attraction. Good thing we're not alone. But.. robbb said it really well... aren't we all weirdos and everyone in their own weird way  I fell in love with this group of people that makes this board a really special place and from day one I found this, I was all in. Good thing you decided to quit lurking and getting involved instead. 24, you're young. Would you like to share when you found out you were a dev? Also, you might want to share which disabilities you're interested. Edit. sorry, I read 24... you said 28. still, same result for my questions ;-) |

I was really young when I realized I was a dev - around 3 or 4 I think, though I didn't have the language to really understand it. There was a boy with CP in my class and I thought he was cute |

Hello! Long-time lurker, first time poster! I'm 28, female, and Canadian. I am a bit nervous about joining but ultimately want to understand my dev side a bit better. A bit about me: I love to travel and often do so alone - so freeing! My latest trip was to Italy and I will be going to South Korea and Japan in the spring. I also enjoy art and photography, though I'm not good at either. I've recently started learning to paint with watercolour and while the results are less than stunning, it is a whole lot of fun. I'm excited to get to know you all better! Please feel free to ask any questions! Hi! I'm peruvian and people refers to Canada almost like paradise. |

Haha I have a cut on my face from a nasty hail storm a few days ago so "paradise" seems like a generous description right now lol |

We have a winter storm here in Finland as well, though it's pleasantly wet and warm, as there's still no snow in Helsinki. A gangster's paradise.
Welcome to PD! Plenty of Canadians on the board, if I recall!

Welcome, welcome :-) I'd ask to see some of your art and photography work, but ...well ...  I found this place a while back and have learned so much about a large variety of topics, both good and bad :-) Sure you'll feel right at home soon enough. |
